Christmas Countdown - 2015

[sugar142286]

Thanks guys! His MRI came back pretty good. No abscesses & no new stroke! Doc (surgeon) was amazed at the severity of his 1st stroke 17 years ago! They are running some more tests to make sure there is no further infection. Doc wants him moving as much as possible. Going to put him on a muscle relaxer! He's just in so much pain in his belly! Probably from the compression fractures @ t10 & t11. Hopefully things start improving now! xx I'll be heading back up after work & again in the morning. My sisters, brother & Mom did all the paperwork this morning at the nursing home, for rehab - he is ready to go there whenever they boot him out of the hospital!

Glad to hear the MRI came back well!

Yawnnnnn! I'm up, trying to move about to get moving along... The coffee is a major help!

Well, getting ready to head out soon to start another shift. Tonight, I will be up and down and ladder for the next 12 hours, (not like I don't need the exercise or anything) but, that's a lot of step aerobics, and I can only imagine what my knees are going to feel like tomorrow this time...

Here I am, home when no one else is and not at home when everyone is
; huh?? Well, my poor wife has been contending with the drama of my son's love life, with him and his girlfriend breaking up, she's like telling me privately, Oh great, in one way and "GREAT!!!" in another way.

The background: My wife and my son's now present ex-girlfriend is like oil and water... Don't mix very well, but she is very nice to her and pleasant when she see's her. My wife is praying that my son doesn't go back to her...Yes, the moral of the story is that it ------ there is this other girl..... ! I just told him to be honest, follow his heart, don't feel guilty for doing what his heart is telling him to do. And most importantly, do what makes Zach happy on the inside. Sometimes, things happen for a reason~

Hope your night at work goes well!

Good evening, friends! Hope you're all having a great day! It got up to in the 20s here, so it felt like a heatwave here.

Hope you all stay warm and enjoy the rest of your evening!

Happy Pines Day and Rudolph Day!

Isn't that crazy! We were saying it felt like Spring here, because it was sunny & 14 degrees, lol!

Happy Pines Day & Rudolph Day to you, too!

Good Morning MMC !
like Binger, we got more snow and more on the way.

One of the churches in town here had the same thing written on their board last week. cheesy

Good Morning....happy Wednesday!

A little bit warmer day in CT today..thank God!! I have to say I am ready for spring. I had to bring my daughter to Urgent Care last night she ended up with a bladder infection so she is home today from school. Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in soon.

We may have some snow/freezing rain this weekend...ugh!

I am so excited for the Christmas Countdown...10 months to Christmas!! :-D

Hope you all have a great day!

I hope your daughter is feeling better.

Greetings friends! Time is zipping on by, hard to believe the end of February is upon us. It's snowing like crazy here so I'm going to go do some night shoveling. Have a great night and happy Thursday.

Anxious about gabulldawg.
Does anyone have any news? His post alarmed me.

Me too.
I have been thinking of him since his post.

Good morning, everyone!

Ten months until Christmas Day? Nine months until we're into the thick of the Christmas Season? One month until we are a few days into Spring? The year is moving fast. In fact, it has been so fast that I have been on hiatus from MMC for about a month. I think it's time to end that!

I've been a little busy - here and there - doing various things for the past month. Work has finally picked up. I worked all four days last week (Monday was a holiday). This week, I've managed two of three days thus far. I'm really hoping to make it four of five, but we shall see how the calls go for tomorrow and Friday. The good news is that I am already booked for three days next week (all at my normal supply school).

I'm not at Russell today. Instead, I took a call this morning at a school which I was only at once last year. The students and staff here are very welcoming. It's been good thus far. There's only two more periods of teaching to go! The school here is done at 2:15, which is about an hour earlier than I'm used to being done. I'll have plenty of time to do things afterwards.

I hope everyone here is doing quite well. I might have some time in a bit to run through some posts and catch up a little. I think my little break was long enough. I am ready to return to Christmassy thoughts. In fact, I think a trip to Tinseltown, Ottawa's Christmas Emporium, is in order. Perhaps, I can convince Kim to go this weekend or next.

Have a great Wednesday, everyone! We're nearly on the downside of the workweek. I hope the weather in your area is much nicer than the snow and winds of Ottawa. February has been record-setting for cold. Hopefully March will turn things around!

Great to see you. I hope you get to Tinseltown this weekend.

Good morning MMC! So happy I had a chance to catch up on here this morning - wasn't sure if I would! Happy Hump/Pines/Rudolph Day! :rudolph:

I'm at work, but Dad just got back to his room after a 2 hr MRI. They had to give him extra pain meds so he could tolerate the test. He just has a lot going on. He is retaining fluid, so they need to figure that out. Hopefully we'll have some answers from the MRI about where the infection is. They did an upper & lower lumbar as well as the brain. Doc wants to rule out that he didn't have another stroke since his right leg is so weak. My oldest sister has been at the hospital all morning & my Mom/Brother are heading up shortly - I am taking a short lunch so I can get out of here earlier & head up, then another sis is coming this evening. Been a crazy 15 or so hours. Hoping the MRI shows an easy fix for the infection & they don't have to open him up again!

On a lighter note - the sun is shining & it was a balmy 16º this morning. cheesy

Have a great day gang!

Your dad is still in my thoughts.
